strorg Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Local Craigslist seller has a pair in "unfinished ash" with a few dings for $700. Seems like worth taking a look but I have no idea what to look out for. From the photos, appear to be legit set with sequential serial numbers. Any advice? Thanks...Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 A bit on the high side but maybe there is something special about them. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strorg Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 I could probably talk him down to 500 but think i'll wait a bit and get a new set of the Heresy III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Unfinished ash would indicate Heresy III, if they are truly unfinished ash that is. Previous generations would be birch raw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Where are you located OP? I might have a pair of heresy II signatures available for purchase... but I don't want to go thru shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromtheashes Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I just bought a pair of Heresy II in birch with cables for $380. I am not sure if this is about right or high or low. They are in very good shape- a few small issues with the back corners but the innards look pristine. I had a pair in college so this is the start of my mid-life crisis :<) A few questions: Amp suggestions and I have heard they sound better elevated. To what height? Thanks in advance. ( If i cannibalized the original post, that wasn't my intention. Just wanted to get started on here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Heresy 1s on 23.5" stands in the guest bedroom and Heresy 2s sitting on my dresser in my master bedroom. Both are situated where boundary gain is in play.
